註釋

Tanglewood Tales is a collection of retold myths and legends by Nathaniel Hawthorne, written in the mid-19th century for young readers. Drawing from Greek and Roman mythology, the book reimagines classic tales in a vivid and engaging style, making them accessible to a younger audience while preserving their timeless appeal. The introduction introduces Eustace Bright, a young author seeking guidance from an older writer as he sets out to retell ancient myths in a fresh and captivating way. His enthusiasm and creative ambition reflect the book’s core theme—revitalizing classical mythology for a new generation. The narrative begins in a cozy summer retreat, where Eustace and the narrator engage in a warm and lively conversation about myths and storytelling. This setting fosters a sense of exploration, imagination, and camaraderie, inviting readers into a world where ancient legends come to life. The book opens with a charming and whimsical tone, setting the stage for the first tale, “The Minotaur.” More than just a retelling of myths, Tanglewood Tales is a collection of stories that embody growth, adventure, and the innocence of childhood, appealing to both young readers and adults who cherish the enduring magic of mythology.
